LS6 Stock Valve Spring Replacement
What is the current hot ticket for replacing the stock valve springs on the LS6? I have some work coming up and I figured I'd do the springs and trunions "while I'm in there". I don't expect to change the cam now or in the future and the engine has no mods with none planned.
My preference would be for a) Comp Cams parts as they've been my primary cam vendor for a really long time and b) real-world experience vs. "I saw these in the catalog and they look great!".
Thanks!

from what I read it was the 02 to 03 years with issues. Gm had redesigned them after that.

it's possible to order ls6 springs individually but it also would increase your odds of drawing on new old stock. i actually received a clutch switch from 1999 when i replaced mine. some of the c5 parts sold via dealer are from the production run
